In ten consanguineous families, a total of 10 homozygous mutations in 8 IRD genes were identified, including 2 novel mutations, c.1654_1655delAG (p. R552Afs*5) in gene FAM161A in a patient diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, and c.830T > C (p.L277P) in gene CEP78 in a patient diagnosed with cone and rod dystrophy. This evidence concerns the gene CEP78 and cone-rod dystrophy.
